PagerDuty Postincident Reviews Documentation

This is an Open Source version of the Howie guide originally published by Jeli. Welcome to the PagerDuty family, Jeli!

You can view the documentation directly in this repository, or rendered as a website at https://howie-guide.pagerduty.com.

Development

We use MkDocs to create a static site from this repository.

Native

For local development on your native device,

1. Install MkDocs. pip install mkdocs
2. Install MkDocs PyMdown Extensions. pip install pymdown-extensions
3. Install Pygments if you want syntax highlighting for any code examples. pip install pygments
4. Install the PagerDuty MkDocs Theme.
   1. git clone https://github.com/pagerduty/mkdocs-theme-pagerduty
   2. cd mkdocs-theme-pagerduty & python3 setup.py install
5. To test locally, run mkdocs serve from the project directory.
6. You can now view the website in your browser at http://127.0.0.1:8000. The site will automatically update as you edit the code.

Docker

For local development using Docker,

1. Build the docker image and load it for immediate use. docker build --load -t mkdocs .
2. Run the container and pass through your current working directory. docker run -v $(pwd):/docs -p 127.0.0.1:8000:8000 mkdocs
3. You can now view the website in your browser at http://127.0.0.1:8000. The site will automatically update as you edit the code.

Note: If you're using an Apple Silicon device, add --platform linux/arm64/v8 to the docker build command to get a native Apple Silicon image. That will work faster than translating an arm64 image.

Deploying

1. Run mkdocs build --clean to produce the static site for upload.

2. Upload the site directory to S3 (or wherever you would like it to be hosted).

    aws s3 sync ./site/ s3://[BUCKET_NAME] \
      --acl public-read \
      --exclude "*.py*" \
      --delete
